New book that's worth a look "Memory: Fragments of a Modern History' by Alison Winter. According to Brainpickings, the book "explores how the science and understanding of memory evolved over the past century, from early metaphors that likened it to a filing cabinet to the quasi-science of the prewar era’s “truth serums” to the psychology of false confessions and the latest neuroscience breakthroughs on how remembering works."
